SURFCAM Velocity 4 offers major improvements to 3-axis finishing, 4-
and 5-axis machining and TrueMill, the proven industry leader in
toolpath technology.
* 3-Axis Finishing: New high-speed machining strategies featuring
faster processing, reduced length of rapid motions, tapered tool
support, improved surface finish --- and more.
* 4/5-Axis Machining: precise control over every aspect of
multi-axis machining ensuring safe tool motion in the most challenging
applications. Support for all standard tools with collision checking,
avoidance, toolpath containment -- and more.
* TrueMill: provision of recommended Truemill™ speeds and feeds,
improved feedrate optimization, greatly reduced rapid motions,
availability of custom designed TrueMill Series tools designed to
further improve performance with TrueMill. With TrueMill, the more
difficult to machine the material, the greater the competitive
advantage.
"We are delighted to introduce SURFCAM Velocity 4 at IMTS," says
Diehl. "This release adds additional world-class features to SURFCAM
and solves issues that limited TrueMill's performance. It takes the
unique, patent-pending TrueMill technology to a new level of
excellence.
"We are just beginning to demonstrate what this powerful technology
can do," Diehl adds. "Because TrueMill is useful to a wide spectrum of
industries, Surfware looks forward to providing custom and turnkey
solutions, as well as partnering with vendors of complementary
technologies as we continue to build on the great quality and
scalability of our product." .
